TheGuardian_ Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 17 teams are in a wild card hunt, that is no big deal. The Nucks were never expected to be dead last from the start of the season and with the way the loser point and game management works in the regular season it wouldn't be until the last 25 games or so that teams out of the hunt might be more obvious.

Edler's bad game was bound to happen. Considering how good he's been for the last while, he was actually past due for a stinker. If you think about it in a "laying an egg" sense, he'd been holding back the egg for so damn long, it was already rotten when he layed it. The fires just poke fun at people freaking the f out over that loss. I'm pretty sure we're gonna lose way harder than that a few times before this season is through. It's pretty entertaining the way people lose their $&!# after a loss. Way over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of great young players coming up, to join with our current young guys (all lead by Bo, of course) so adding another one or two will only make our rebuilt team all the better, no? They won't like you for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess no one seems to understand what we are missing . Our two best face off guys. They Don't seem to understand how important it is to start with the puck. Not sure how Boucher would solve that.

King Heffy Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Even if we do fall off the rails, we'd become sellers at the deadline and get some more picks in a strong draft. I'm pleasantly surprised by the team this year, but we'd get smoked in the first round in the playoffs. If Benning can get a similar haul to last year's deadline and draft, we should have all the building blocks we need. I don't really expect much this year and am just enjoying watching the future of the team develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 My only thought on this subject is where would we be if Benning's UFA spree didn't happen. Dead in the water, sorry Reid Boucher, and Jordon Subban are not the answers to our inevitable injury issues which now appear to be in full swing....and people were worried about only having two rookie spots out of camp. If the team survives the next month we will be right back in the thick of things, if we don't we can still claw our way back. The Sedins and L.E. have looked five years younger as of late, schooling everyone in their passing game and getting loads of looks, Markstrom had a shut out and looks good regardless, Nillsson too, and the replacements haven't looked bad either. No worrying required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Transition year that is no more or less disastrous than the past few. The larger concern is simply the health of a few of our key young players. The team will be fine - whether it competes or falls out of the race, there is literally no shame in having lost so many key pieces already this year. They've acquitted themselves well thus far and I see no reason they won't continue to. It may set them back in terms of momentum, and it may actually cost them slightly in the reduced ability to sell a few assets - and the performance of those assets is also likely to be tested / their production will be harder to sustain under the circumstances - so any gains in draft position could be lost in the value of assets we are likely to sell. Whatever - it is what it is - I love what I've seen from this team thus far this year and am not attached to results - or making the playoffs - in any event.

Wonder why no one else thought of this. Hope the rest of the league doesn't find out that all you need to do is find a star player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
